Casa Bella

Tegucigalpa


This very comfortable, excellent-value hotel has a fantastic location in the heart of Colonia Palmira, within easy walking distance of many restaurants and bars. Its mustard-colored, sponge-painted public areas give way to surprisingly tasteful modern rooms, featuring attractive, dark-wood furniture and local handicrafts. Suites are enormous, and all rooms have fridges, safes and cable TV. Staff speak excellent English.
